Worth it? questions...

ok i am considering a 90 talon tsi awd 5 speed. heres the list of everything what do you guys think?

The car has 131,330 on it and runs perfect....new parts/mods are as follows

New head
greddy kevlar timing belt
plugs/wires ( ngk's and magnecore wires)
alternator and belts
fresh oil, mobil 1 5w-30 with 1 quart lucas in it
fresh fluids through drivetrain ( synchromesh in tranny)
2g shift knob
big 16g turbo
o2 housing dump
apex'i 3inch dp
2.5" exhuast no cat and stainless muffler
k&n filter
new ecu
autometer boost gauge/ a/f gauge
apexi safc2
datalogger cable and palm
walbro 190 pump
evolution 8 injectors (560cc)
injector seals
fuel filter
turbo xs dual stage boost controller



Car runs perfect right now and is very fast, I run 14 psi daily and 18psi on high boost. I dont like to run more than that due to the lack of a bigger intercooler. I do however have a conquest and an evo intercooler that could go with it......


$3,300 is the price

any idea on what kinda power its probably making or what i could run in the 1./4?



thanks

1. Get a compression test done. Normal numbers should be in the 150-160 psi range. The low limit is 120 psi. There should be no more than a 14 psi difference between cylinders.

2. Properly tuned it should be a decent 13 second ride. Don't bother with the starquest intercooler, it's marginally better than the stock one (and only because it's a fmic)
